Why is the Bald Hills Wind Farm being built?

Climate change is a widely accepted problem.

Around Australia governments, industries, families and individuals are beginning to look at ways to minimise their impact on climate change. A way in which we could contribute towards meeting the climate change challenge is to increase the production and take-up of renewable energy.

Renewable energy is one way to meet energy needs without emitting harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Wind energy is an efficient, non-polluting, and reliable source of energy for the generation of electricity.

The Bald Hills Wind Farm is a practical demonstration of the private sector, government and communities working together to become part of the solution towards meeting the challenges of climate change.
